- Bagaimanakah data boleh dijadikan bukti untuk menyokong kesimpulan yang dibuat?
Cadangan jawapan: Raw data as such have little meaning. Data must be organized and
interpreted through tabulating, graphing, or statistical analysis. Such analysis can
bring out the meaning of data—and their relevance—so that they may be used as
evidence. Data are not evidence until used in the process of supporting a claim. - Apakah pendapat anda mengenai penggunakan ‘fair tests’ dalam menjalankan

The idea of science as a set of practices has emerged from the work of historians,
philosophers, psychologists, and sociologists over the past 60 years. This work
illuminates how science is actually done, both in the short term (e.g., studies of activity
in a particular laboratory or program) and historically (studies of laboratory notebooks,
published texts, eyewitness accounts). Seeing science as a set of practices shows that
theory development, reasoning, and testing are components of a larger ensemble of
activities that includes networks of participants and institutions, specialized ways of
talking and writing, the development of models to represent systems or phenomena, the
making of predictive inferences, construction of appropriate instrumentation, and
testing of hypotheses by experiment or observation.
Our view is that this perspective is an improvement over previous approaches in several
ways. First, it minimizes the tendency to reduce scientific practice to a single set of
procedures, such as identifying and controlling variables, classifying entities, and
identifying sources of error. This tendency overemphasizes experimental investigation
at the expense of other practices, such as modeling, critique, and communication. In
addition, when such procedures are taught in isolation from science content, they
become the aims of instruction in and of themselves rather than a means of developing
a deeper understanding of the concepts and purposes of science. (NRC, 2012, p.43)
